I created a ipa file without provisional to test the app. how to install this ipa file directly from iphone. I downloaded that IPA file using itunes gmail account app. after downloaded the IPA file I cannot find that IPA file which is downloaded. how to find that file and install that file.
In order to run an app on a non jailbroken device, you need to create the ipa file using a provisioning file that includes your device. Otherwise, it would be impossible to install that file on the device (unlike on Android, where you can send the apk from one device to another and install it freely via email). If you do have an account as part of the iOS Developer Program, you will need to go to the Developer Portal, create a development certificate, create an app ID, register your device, create a provisioning profile that matches all of the previous details and use that profile when running your app on the physical device.

I would just like to confirm my understanding and check whether it can be done or not. I have an iMac and a Macbook for development. I have created an IPA for the app store which I need to upload it to iTunes.
Now my question is that I have generated the IPA from the iMac which contains all the profiles and certificates. Can I upload the IPA from the Macbook using Application Loader 3.0, but the Macbook does not contain any of the profiles and certificates.
From my understanding it should be doable as the IPA contains everything required, but still wants to confirm with other developers in the community.
This can be done and Application Loader has no dependency on the certificates and profiles. We just need to login using the proper credential and then select the proper IPA which is required to be uploaded.
I have created an .ipa file using Phonegap. For testing I uploaded the developer certificates and device UDID. Its working fine. Now, I want to distribute this apps using Application Loader. For this I uploaded the apple distributor certificate and distribute mobile provision file on the phonegap cloud and generated the .ipa file. When I tried this apps with iPhone 6.3.1, its giving me error: iTunes sync apps failed to install
Please help me to get out of this problem..
Are you trying to submit the app (you mentioned Application Loader which is used for submitting apps) or install it on devices for testing? I am assuming you are trying to install it on devices for testing.
If the app fails to install, check for one of these
The mobileprovision you are using has your device's UDID. Test apps can only be installed on devices whose UDID is included in the mobileprovision (unless you are distributing for enterprises)
The mobileprovision is installed on your device (try using a service like Testflight - you'll know whether your device has the necessary setup)
I am working on an iPhone application for a customer. After the development will be finished the application will be on the Apple Store, but meanwhile during its development, on a regular basis the customer wants to see and install the application on his own phone to check the current status of the development.
-I went to the provisioning portal registered my customer's device udid and added to my application's provisioning profile.
-I downloaded the provisioning profile and installed it.
-I then built the ipa and sent it to my customer.
SHouldn't this be enough?
The customer is experimenting a sync error. He can import the ipa inside itunes but at the end of the sync he receive this error alert on his iphone.I tested this ipa file on two other iphones and is working (both registered and one is ios 5.1 and the other 5.0.1)..Where should I check for misconfigurations?
I'm running the latest xcode version 4.3.1
Make sure you build with the distribution provision. I use a new Xcode build configuration for this (called Ad Hoc) and I make sure my archive build uses this new build configuration. The customer will need a copy of this distribution provision (which he double clicks), and you send him the ipa file. He drags this into his iTunes library and he is then able to install the app to his device.
Sometimes the provisioning profile needs to be installed on the device separately. I encountered this problem once with my team member who had Windows.
Just send your customer the profile and ask to install it on the device.
You may need iPhone Configuration Utility to install the profile on the device.
I developed an app and created a .Ipa file and sync it with my iPad1 but the problem is, I am trying to sync the same app in to my other iPad2 using iTunes.
But it is not syncing and showing an error that the App can't be installed and installation failed!!!.
There are several reasons for failed to instal in device.
1.check your provisioning profile contains device UDID of ipad2 added or not.
2.check your ipa file created properly or not.if you feel you created properly then delete the app from your first device which is having same app and instal the ipa again and check once.Then you come to know your ipa creation is correct.
3.one more reason might have take place is ipa may break accidentally.
you can check these steps:-
Make sure that your iPad2 device ID is added to your provision profile you have created in developer portal.
Make sure that your bundle id in your plist is match with the your provisioning profile bundle ID you have choose to build your project.
Second thing you can check if the provision profile is installed on your device on not.

This is a free program to check an IPA file for errors, there's over 20 reasons why an IPA file will fail to install, many strange combinations in mobileprovisioning and info.plist files.
CheckIPA
I am using IPA file for testing purposes ,but some times it gives following error "Signer not valid error" is it due to non jail break? or i have to use UDID
The UDID of the device must be included in the .mobileprovision file associated with the app.
You can add devices through the Apple Developer Portal, and then download the .mobileprovision file. Double-click on the downloaded file to notify Xcode about it, and then Build And Archive the project again. The ipa generated from that build will now work on all of the devices you added.
